Art and Design Revision — OCR A-Level

    Complete OCR A-Level Art and Design specification revision resources. Tailored syllabus coverage with topic breakdowns, quizzes, and practice questions.

    Overview

    OCR's A-Level Art and Design offers you the chance to develop your creative skills through a flexible, student-centred course. Rather than sitting traditional written exams, you'll produce a body of coursework across two components, allowing you to explore in depth the areas of art and design that inspire you most. You can choose from a wide range of endorsements, including Fine Art, Graphic Communication, Textile Design, and Photography, or opt for the broad Art, Craft and Design route that lets you mix media. This structure encourages you to become an independent, reflective practitioner, building a strong portfolio for progression to art college, university, or careers in the creative industries.

    The course is built around the creative process: you'll investigate a theme or idea, experiment with materials and techniques, record your observations and insights, and finally produce a resolved outcome. Throughout, you'll engage with the work of other artists, designers and craftspeople, learning to analyse and respond to their practices. Your personal investigation – the major coursework project – includes a written study of 1000–3000 words that contextualises your practical work. This develops vital research and critical thinking skills, preparing you for higher education.

    OCR's specification stands out by placing your individual interests at the heart of your study. The two components are designed to give you time to experiment, make mistakes and refine your ideas. The externally set task in Component 2 gives you a choice of starting points set by the exam board, followed by a preparatory period and a final 15-hour supervised session to create a finished piece. With 100% non-exam assessment, your grade is based entirely on the portfolio you create – ensuring your practical skills and creativity are fairly rewarded.

    Why Choose OCR for Art and Design?

    OCR gives you exceptional flexibility – with multiple specialist endorsements and the broad Art, Craft and Design option, you can tailor the course to your strengths, whether that's lens-based media, fine art, or 3D design.

    The 100% coursework model suits students who thrive on sustained, independent project work rather than timed written exams, allowing your creativity and skill development to be assessed holistically.

    OCR's emphasis on the personal investigation and the integrated contextual study builds critical research and writing skills highly valued by universities and art colleges, making your portfolio stand out.

    Assessment & Exam Structure

    This qualification is assessed through 100% non-exam assessment (coursework). There are two components: Component 01 – Personal investigation (60% of the A-Level, 120 marks) and Component 02 – Externally set task (40%, 80 marks). In Component 1, you produce a portfolio of practical work and a related written study of 1000–3000 words. Component 2 begins with an early-release paper giving you a choice of themes; after a preparatory period, you create a final outcome during 15 hours of supervised time. Both components are marked by your centre and externally moderated by OCR.
